High Stakes, Big Challenges
The stakes have never been higher as providers strive to meet meaningful use and HIPAA requirements and secure protected health information (PHI) in a world of increasing threats, technological evolution, and sophisticated hacking. One oversight can lead to heavy fines and damaging press coverage. This perception report examines where providers feel they are most risk for breaches, what some are doing to prepare, and who providers can turn to for third-party assistance.
WORTH KNOWING
No Clear Market Leader in Security Services:
The 104 providers in this study mentioned 46 different firms for security services within healthcare. Of those mentioned, CynergisTek, Deloitte, and Verizon were mentioned the most, followed by Dell, Fortrex Technologies, Hayes Management Consulting, IBM, and Santa Rosa Consulting.
Santa Rosa Consulting Provides the Most Services among the Healthcare IT Consultants, Followed by Dell:
According to providers, healthcare IT consulting firms are offering, on average, fewer security-related services than firms that focus predominately on security. Of the HIT consulting firms, Santa Rosa Consulting provides the most services, followed by Dell. HIT consulting firms mainly offer HIPAA and meaningful use risk assessments, while security-focused firms offer several additional services.
Unauthorized Access & Identity Management Biggest Challenges:
Providers in this report rated unauthorized access by employees as their biggest concern. The second biggest concern stems from bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, which create risk for unmonitored system access, encryption failure, and theft or loss of devices containing PHI.
